These consist of lamellae (0.1 ­ and two smaller intrusive bodies (Garsaknat and 0.25 microns) of two plagioclases which may dif­ Hidra; Fig. 1).

The compositional range of plagioclase in and leuconorite in various proportions (Michot which labradorescence occurs is believed to be between An47 and An58' and the colour of irride­ scence may vary from blue (An47-55) to green/yellow (An50-55) and red (An55.58) (Smith 1974, Zeino-Mahmalat 1972). The plagioclases of the anorthosite massifs in Rogaland generally range in composition from An40 to An56 (Zeino-Mahmalat 1972, Duchesne & Maquil 1987), but the labradorescent type (An>47) only occurs within limited parts. Although occurrences are found in all the descri­ bed massifs and intrusions, the potential for wor­ kable deposits seems to be limited to the Egersund-Ogna Massif and the Hidra and Garsaknat intrusions. This limitation is based mainly on other industrial and geological factors of importance, e.g. accessibility, homogeneity and fracturing. Generally, the existence of labra­ Fig. 1.

Grain size varies from medium to coarse to very coarse, and the plagioclase generally shows a bimodal distribution with large, subhe­ dral crystals up to 5cm in size in a finer grained matrix. Between 10% and 30% of the plagioclase crystals show blue to green labradorescence. P.yr~xene « 2 ~%) commonly occurs as evenly distributed grains or as megacrysts, in places concentrated in boudinaged layers. The content of opaq~es . (scattered, small grains of pyrite and magnetite) IS generally less than 0.5%, indicating that the rock would be well suited for most buil­ ding stone purposes. This view is supported by the nature of the weathering profile, which is very shallow and almost without staining. Saussuritisation and kaolinisation are com­ mon phenomena in anorthosites, and the degree and nature of such alteration are of great impor­ tance for exploitation as for use of dimension sto­ ne. Generally, highly altered rocks are not corn­ ~ e r ci ally interesting. In the Hellvik area it is pos­ sible to distinguish between regional and local alteration. The former is mainly seen in the monotonous anorthosites, as small white and green spots on a mesoscopic scale, and as 'dus­ ty' plagioclase microscopically. The labradorite­ bearing anorthosites, however, are remarkably unaltered. Local alteration occurs along fracture zones ( co m ~ o nl y WNW-ESE and N-S), and a gradual transition from unaltered rock to white rneta­ anorthosite is seen when approaching these.

For that purpose, large and homogeneous deposits of finer grained material would be of greater interest. The Hidra type is characterised by an overall dark grey colour with scattered labradorite crys­ tals. The bimodal distribution of the feldspar is even more significant than in the Hellvik type , with labradorite megacrysts surrounded by a medium- to coarse-grained matrix. The conten t of labradorescent plagioclase varies between 1% and 10% in the homogeneous anorthosites and slightly more in the pegmatites. The play of colours is mainly towards deep blue. These anorthosites and leuconorites have a high content of opaques (mainly haematite but also magnetite and pyrite), locally up to 10%. This results in a dee p, stained, weathering profile and clearly limits suitability for outdoo r use of the stone . Furthermore, the weathered surface makes correct quantitative evaluation of labrado­ rescence difficult, and for detailed investigation core-drilling or blasting will be necessary to obtain fresh samples. Four prospects are localised - 6-7 in the Garsaknat intrusion and 8-9 in the Hidra intrusi ­ on (Fig. 4).

ONSAGER THE LEMONWEIR VALLEY PRESS Berrien Springs, Michigan and Mauston, Wisconsin 2013 ANASON FAMILY INTRODUCTION The Anason family has its roots in Rogaland County, in western Norway. Western Norway is the area which had the greatest emigration to the United States. The County of Rogaland, formerly named Stavanger, lies at Norway’s southwestern tip, with the North Sea washing its fjords, beaches and islands. The name Rogaland means “the land of the Ryger,” an old Germanic tribe. The Ryger tribe is believed to have settled there 2,000 years ago. The meaning of the tribal name is uncertain. Rogaland was called Rygiafylke in the Viking age. The earliest known members of the Anason family came from a region of Rogaland that has since become part of Vest-Agder County.

  • National Treasure of Global Significance. Dimension-Stone Deposits in Larvikite, Oslo Igneous Province, Norway
    National treasure of global significance. Dimension-stone deposits in larvikite, Oslo igneous province, Norway Tom Heldal1, Idunn Kjølle2, Gurli B. Meyer1 and Sven Dahlgren3 1Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 2Directorate of mining, 7491 Trondheim, Norway. 3Geological advisor, Buskerud, Telemark and Vestfold, Fylkeshuset, 3126 Tønsberg, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] Larvikite has for more than a hundred years been appreciated as one of the world’s most attractive dimension stones, and at present, its production and use is more extensive than ever. The main reason for the continuous success of larvikite on the world market is the blue iridescence displayed on polished surfaces, which is caused by optical interference in microscopic lamellae within the ternary feldspars. The larvikite complex consists of different intrusions, defining several ring- shaped structures, emplaced during a period of approximately five million years. Following this pattern, several commercial subtypes of larvikite, characterised by their colour and iridescence, have been mapped. Four of these subtypes are being exploited at the present time and define the most important reserves in the short run. Some other subtypes are less attractive in the present market situation, but may provide an interesting potential for the future. However, the industrial value of the larvikite also depends on other geological features, such as various types of dykes, faults and fractures, ductile deformation zones, late-stage magmatic and hydrothermal alteration and deep weathering. When combining the distribution pattern of such features with the map of the larvikite subtypes, it is possible to delineate various types of larvikite deposit that are considered to have commercial value in the short or long term.

  • The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift Through Six Stages and 65 Million Years
    52 by Bjørn T. Larsen1, Snorre Olaussen2, Bjørn Sundvoll3, and Michel Heeremans4 The Permo-Carboniferous Oslo Rift through six stages and 65 million years 1 Det Norske Oljeselskp ASA, Norway. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Eni Norge AS. E-mail: [email protected] 3 NHM, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] 4 Inst. for Geofag, UiO. E-mail: [email protected] The Oslo Rift is the northernmost part of the Rotliegen- des basin system in Europe. The rift was formed by lithospheric stretching north of the Tornquist fault sys- tem and is related tectonically and in time to the last phase of the Variscan orogeny. The main graben form- ing period in the Oslo Region began in Late Carbonif- erous, culminating some 20–30 Ma later with extensive volcanism and rifting, and later with uplift and emplacement of major batholiths. It ended with a final termination of intrusions in the Early Triassic, some 65 Ma after the tectonic and magmatic onset. We divide the geological development of the rift into six stages. Sediments, even with marine incursions occur exclusively during the forerunner to rifting. The mag- matic products in the Oslo Rift vary in composition and are unevenly distributed through the six stages along the length of the structure. Introduction The Oslo Palaeorift (Figure 1) contributed to the onset of a pro- longed period of extensional faulting and volcanism in NW Europe, which lasted throughout the Late Palaeozoic and the Mesozoic eras. Widespread rifting and magmatism developed north of the foreland of the Variscan Orogen during the latest Carboniferous and contin- ued in some of the areas, like the Oslo Rift, all through the Permian period.

  • Graveyard Geology
    GRAVEYARD GEOLOGY A Guide to Rocks in Graveyards and Cemeteries Wendy Kirk Department of Earth Sciences, David Cook University College London & Aldersbrook Geological Society London Geodiversity Partnership Introduction Walk around graveyards and cemeteries (in this case, those of London and the southeast of England) and it becomes apparent that, prior to the latter part of the twentieth century, many memorials were made out of just a few different rock types. These were chosen for reasons of appearance, cost, workability and ease of transport to the cemetery, as well as for resistance to weathering and dependence on local regulations. In the last few decades, a range of different, interesting and beautiful stones have appeared, many brought in from abroad, enhancing the diversity of materials used. The intention of this guide is to help a non-specialist identify the main rock types, to recognize some of the varieties and to know where some of these might have come from. Graveyards are a wonderful resource for those with an interest in geology at any level, wildlife, plants, history or sculpture. We hope you gain as much pleasure as we have done. First things first A useful place to start is to be able to distinguish between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from melted rock called magma. If this erupts at the surface, it is called lava. It cools and crystallizes quickly, so the grains are too small to see even with a hand lens (magnifying glass). If the lava erupt explosively to form a spray, the cooled fragments are known as volcanic ash.
